| − | The ATK and DEF of a Level 4 or lower monster are limited by two rules: the '''"2000 ATK Rule"''' and the''' "2300 DEF Rule"'''. The rule states that for a Level 4 monster to have an [[ATK]] or [[DEF]] equal to or higher than these values, it must have some kind of [[negative effect]] or other restriction, such as being a [[Nomi]] monster. For example, "[[Meklord Emperor Wisel]]" is only Level 1 yet has 2500 ATK and DEF; however, it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.

| − | The "Rule of 2000 ATK" is a general rule that applies to [[Level]] 4 or lower [[Monster Card]]s; it states that once [[Monster Card]]s get to 1900 ATK, to go further, to 2000 and beyond, [[negative effects]] had to apply to the monster to limit the card.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Two exceptions to this rule are "[[Gene-Warped Warwolf]]" and "[[Alexandrite Dragon]]". These cards essentially removed the existing usefulness of other 2000 ATK cards with negative effects (like "[[Panther Warrior]]") when they were released.

| |
| − | | |
| − | There are many Level 4 cards beyond 2000 ATK points. However, they have negative side effects to counterbalance their massive (for their Level) power. Some examples include "[[Zombyra the Dark]]" (2100 ATK) "[[Giant Orc]]" (2200 ATK), "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" (2300 ATK), "[[Chainsaw Insect]]" (2400 ATK) and "[[Giant Kozaky]]" (2500 ATK). There are currently ''{{#ask: [[Level::<4]] [[Class 1::Official]] [[ATK::>>1900]]|format=count}}'' Level 4 or less monsters with more than 1900 ATK, which makes them very common. This makes devastating effects, if you "lift" restrictions when you usually summon it with effects negated.

| |
| − | Similar to the "Rule of 2000 ATK", the "Rule of 2300 DEF" states that, for [[Monster Card]]s to go beyond 2200 DEF, special conditions have to apply to limit the card's usefulness. The original limit was 2000, but since many [[Level]] 4 or lower [[Monster Card]]s have [[DEF]] equal to or higher than 2000, it makes a "Rule of 2000 DEF" rather meaningless. Some even have positive effects like "[[Gear Golem the Moving Fortress]]" or "[[Gladiator Beast Hoplomus]]". ''{{#ask: [[Level::<4]] [[Class 1::Official]] [[DEF::>>2200]]|format=count}}'' monsters have 2200 DEF, making them somewhat uncommon, while there are ''{{#ask: [[Level::<4]] [[Class 1::Official]] [[DEF::>2100]]|format=count}}'' 2100 DEF monsters.

| |
| − | Only 5 Level 4 cards have over 2200 DEF. They are "[[Giant Kozaky]]" (2400 DEF), "[[Meklord Emperor Wisel]]" (2500 DEF) "[[Big Shield Gardna]]" (2600 DEF), "[[Destiny HERO - Defender]]" (2700 DEF) and "[[Super Crashbug]]", with the incredibly high DEF of 3000, which, by its own effect, becomes 3000 ATK. They all have negative effects, such as increasing your opponent's [[hand advantage]], switching to [[Attack Position]] (in addition to having extremely weak ATK), only being able to exist on the field while an extremely weak monster exists as well, or being difficult to Summon.
